It does seem like the hard part is loading the modules necessary for
cdrecord to run at all; I would currently be comfortable pointing a user
at /mit/cdrecord/README and telling them that everything up until the
cdrecord invocation is the same for data as for audio.
I'm however reluctant to document something I haven't tested, and I feel
unmotivated to test it, but if anyone else wants to add a few lines to
/mit/cdrecord/README about audio CDs, I would welcome it.
More urgent in my mind is providing good documentation for creating
and verifying an iso image, along with actually putting it on a CD;
fastcart's document does a good job, so making that not specific to
granola's configuration would be a good solution.
Also, my instructions should probably specify whether setting speed=8
will work (I think it should on the GX150's); I would do this if I had
tested it, or if I had a report of someone else successfully testing it.
